MCG will fill the infrastructure deficit in Gurugram | Tech Reddy

In four of the eight private colonies it took control of five months ago, the MCG has prepared estimates to fix inadequate infrastructure. After carrying out a fresh survey on the ground after the acquisition, it has prepared estimates, which will now be sent to the state government for final approval.

According to officials, the highest estimate is for Vipul World, where a total of Rs 82.2 million is required to complete incomplete infrastructure works such as laying roads, water and sewerage networks.

Malibu Town is expected to spend around R80 million to complete its inadequate infrastructure, which will include re-carpeting and road repairs, as well as upgrading water and sewer lines.

According to the latest survey, Rosewood City will spend an estimated Rs 18 million to rehabilitate the roads in the colony. The project has already been sent for tender. 9 million has been estimated for road re-carpeting in Uppal Southend.

“We have made fresh estimates to meet the infrastructure deficit in some of the recently adopted colonies. Our consultant has made new estimates based on the current requirements of these colonies. After approval of the estimate, tenders will be invited and work orders will be issued to complete the work. We are going to start work soon,” said a senior MCG official.

Four other private colonies including Sushant Lok – 2 and 3, RD City and Greenwood City have been taken over by civic bodies. Despite clear instructions from the Department of Town and Country Planning, the acquisition of Mayfield Gardens is still pending (DTCP). According to the DTCP order issued on May 9, the estimated cost of completing the inadequate infrastructure is Rs 147 million for Malibu Town, Rs 89 million for Vipul World, Rs 45 million for Rosewood City and Rs 36 million for Uppal Southend.

However, MCG has developed new estimates using data from a brand new survey.

While Manohar Lal Khattar was in Gurgaon, a delegation of residents met him and raised the issue of incomplete infrastructure work in the recently seized colonies.

“Without implementing the deficit project report, how can we expect infrastructure improvements in these colonies? There are water and sewage problems and our roads are in poor condition. Residents had high expectations from MCG after the takeover but the whole process has been slow. We have raised the issue with the Chief Minister and also discussed it with the District Commissioner,” said Gauri Sarin, convener of Citizens Group Making Model Gurugram.
